Dylan Dunlap Is in His Storytelling Era—And We’re Here for Every Note

Dylan Dunlap’s “Sweet Queen” and “I Think I” Lead the Charge Toward Something Big— And That’s Not All He’s Working On

If you’re a sucker for a good story wrapped in lush melodies and honest lyrics, you’re probably already familiar with Dylan Dunlap—and if you’re not, well, it’s officially time to catch up.

The Brooklyn-based artist (and total creative powerhouse) is teasing something major on the horizon, and the clues are hiding in plain sight: “Sweet Queen” and “I Think I”, two recent singles that are not just songs, but moments. Emotional, cinematic, and deeply personal, they’re giving fans a taste of what’s to come as Dunlap gears up to announce his next album. And based on what we’ve heard so far? This new chapter is going to be huge.

From Los Angeles to New York—And Beyond

Dylan Dunlap isn’t just making music—he’s crafting experiences. A true renaissance man, he’s not only a multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter, and producer, but also the founder and visionary behind East Magnolia Records, the label he launched in 2023. (Yes, while most of us were figuring out which houseplant to buy next, he was building a label from scratch.)

His debut full-length album, “ANGELENO,” was a heartfelt, coast-to-coast coming-of-age story told across 10 stunning tracks. It chronicled a journey from the palm-lined streets of Los Angeles to the chaotic beauty of New York City—a sonic roadmap of growth, change, and raw vulnerability. And just when we thought he couldn’t go deeper, Dunlap surprises us again.

“Sweet Queen” & “I Think I” — Two Sides of the Same Magic

Both “Sweet Queen” and “I Think I” serve as glowing testaments to Dunlap’s artistic range and emotional precision. “Sweet Queen” feels majestic and sweeping—like a lush indie-pop love letter wrapped in strings and sincerity. “I Think I,” meanwhile, leans into quiet introspection, proving that vulnerability doesn’t always need to be loud to hit hard.

Together, these tracks aren’t just singles—they’re breadcrumbs, guiding listeners toward the bigger picture. Whatever’s coming next, it’s clear Dylan is building something meaningful, intentional, and full of heart.

Introducing: Buttercup

Just in case one musical identity wasn’t enough, Dunlap has also launched an ambient side project called Buttercup—and it’s an entirely different kind of magic. Designed for calm, reflection, and sonic stillness, Buttercup is a space where Dylan explores his love for instrumental and atmospheric soundscapes.

The debut single, “Reflections,” is already out now under East Magnolia Records, with new music dropping every 21 days. It's a fresh creative outlet that showcases a different side of his artistry—proof that Dylan doesn’t just make music for moments, but for moods, memories, and everything in between.

Big Things Ahead

With streaming platforms and fans alike taking notice, it’s clear Dylan Dunlap is just getting started. Between the emotional depth of his new singles, the buzz around his upcoming album, and the peaceful vibes of Buttercup, he’s carving out a space that’s uniquely his.

Whether you’re here for the intricate production, the introspective storytelling, or just need something real to hold onto, Dylan’s got you covered. And this next era? It’s shaping up to be his most compelling yet.
